Summary for Patent: 10,555,971
Title:Combined organ and hematopoietic cells for transplantation tolerance of HLA mismatched grafts
Abstract: Methods and compositions are provided for combined transplantation of a solid organ and hematopoietic cells to an HLA mismatched recipient, where tolerance to the graft is established through development of a persistent mixed chimerism. An individual with persistent mixed chimerism, usually for a period of at least six months, is able to withdraw from the use of immunosuppressive drugs after a period of time sufficient to establish tolerance.

Assignee: The Board of Trustees of the Leland Stanford Junior University (Stanford, CA)
Application Number:16/109,373
Patent Claims:1. A kit comprising components for an engineered hematopoietic cell product for establishing mixed chimerism in a solid organ transplant recipient, wherein the components of the engineered hematopoietic cell product comprise: an effective amount of CD34.sup.+ cells/kilogram recipient weight, wherein the CD34.sup.+ cells are derived from a donor that is of an HLA type that is mismatched to the solid organ transplant recipient's HLA type; and more than 1.times.10.sup.7 CD3.sup.+ T cells/kilogram recipient weight, wherein the CD3.sup.+ cells are derived from the donor that is of an HLA type that is mismatched to the solid organ transplant recipient's HLA type.

2. The kit of claim 1, wherein the effective amount of CD34.sup.+ cells/kilogram recipient weight comprises at least 1.times.10.sup.7 purified CD34.sup.+ cells/kilogram recipient weight.

3. The kit of claim 1, wherein the effective amount of CD3.sup.+ T cells/kilogram recipient weight comprises at least 4.times.10.sup.7 CD3+ T cells/kilogram recipient weight.

4. The kit of claim 1, wherein the effective amount of CD3.sup.+ T cells/kilogram recipient weight comprises about 5.times.10.sub.7 CD3.sup.+ T cells/kilogram recipient weight.

5. The kit of claim 1, wherein a donor of the solid organ and the donor of the components of the engineered hematopoietic cell composition are the same.

6. The kit of claim 1, wherein the donor of the components of the engineered hematopoietic cell product is a human.

7. The kit of claim 1, wherein the components of the engineered hematopoietic cell product is obtained from a deceased or living donor.

8. The kit of claim 1, wherein the components of the engineered hematopoietic cell product are in a cryopreserved state.

9. The kit of claim 8, wherein the components of the engineered hematopoietic cell product are in a cryopreserved state with a cryopreservation solution comprising dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO).

10. The kit of claim 9, wherein the cryopreservation solution further comprises an isotonic excipient.

11. The kit of claim 1, wherein the CD34.sup.+ cells and the CD3.sup.+ cells are HLA mismatched to the solid organ transplant recipient at least one of six alleles of HLA-A, HLA-B, and HLA-DR.

12. The kit of claim 11, wherein the CD34.sup.+ cells and the CD3.sup.+ cells are HLA mismatched to the solid organ transplant recipient at all six HLA alleles.

13. The kit of claim 1, wherein the CD34.sup.+ cells and the CD3.sup.+ cells are from a single apheresis product.

14. The kit of claim 1, further comprising instructions for use.

15. The kit of claim 14, wherein the instructions state to provide the engineered hematopoietic cell product as a single infusion.

16. The kit of claim 14, wherein the instructions state that the engineered hematopoietic cell product should be provided to the solid organ transplant recipient after a solid organ transplant surgery.

17. The kit of claim 16, wherein the instructions state that the engineered hematopoietic cell product should be provided to the solid organ transplant recipient 11 days after the solid organ transplant surgery.

18. The kit of claim 16, wherein the instructions state that the engineered hematopoietic cell product is for use with a solid organ transplant recipient that has undergone non-myeloablative conditioning.

19. The kit of claim 18, wherein the non-myeloablative conditioning comprises a combination of total lymphoid irradiation (TLI) and anti-thymoglobulin (ATG).
